Dad's Preview:
A truly thought-provoking film about life after death, and a
possible version of where we might go. The after-world is overwhelmingly beautiful,
like living in an oil painting. There is sweet happiness there
and welcomed reunions. However, there's also a darkness. This
film really exposed Robin Williams as a serious dramatic actor.
Visually, it's breathtaking.
